Defined breeding objectives essential when selecting rams

摘要

While the environment, health and management are all important aspects of flock performance, genetics is also a factor to be considered. Genetics underpinsperformance and sets the upper limit on the potential of your flock, and its profitability.The genetic potential you purchase with every ram will influence flock performance, as an average or below average ram can only pass on his average or below average genetics. If you have a self-replacing flock, his legacy is even more critical to your business. Its therefore important to invest in the best genetics you can afford and maximise the return on your investment.
